In fact, after hearing what Yun Lan said, Yun Moxiao also began to doubt what Zhuo Yifeng said, but if the suspicious-looking person in Lin Qingchen's mouth was really sent by King Ming, then it would mean that Zhuo Yifeng Words are believable.
As for why King Ming gave up the throne earlier and then planned to rebel, the secret is unknown.
"Call the brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family over, we need to discuss this matter together." Yun Moxiao said.
Lin Qingchen called Zhuo Yifeng and Zhuo Lin'er into the room, and they sat down to discuss. Zhuo Yifeng's expression became serious when he heard Lin Qingchen mention suspicious-looking people near Lin's house and around the medicine shop.
"This must be sent by King Ming to find me." Zhuo Yifeng looked at Lin Qingchen and asked, "Will it cause trouble for your Lin family?"
King Ming is the prince of Li Kingdom, Zhuo Yifeng is being targeted by him now, but the Lin family keeps him at home, which is obviously against King Ming.
Zhuo Yifeng was worried that he would bring trouble to the Lin family because of him.
Lin Qingchen shook his head, "The Lin family still has some status among the big families in the imperial city, so you don't have to worry about that."
Although the Lin family is not as good as before, the century-old reputation is still there. If there is no good reason, no one would dare to blatantly attack the Lin family.
But no one can guarantee whether they will do something secretly, but even if someone does something secretly, the Lin family is not afraid.
"Those people dare not blatantly come to ask for someone, so they can only wander around the Lin family, trying to find out through the Lin family."
Yunmo Xiao said: "But the Lin family has always lived in seclusion, so they can only stay near the house and the medicine shop."
Yun Ruoyan nodded, and speculated: "I guess those people are not only wandering around the pharmacy, Qing Xue must have been followed, but Qing Chen was quick to find out."
"No." At this time, Zhuo Yifeng stood up, "We can't stay here anymore."
Zhuo Yifeng had seen the depth of Ming Wang's palace before. It's really scary that an ambitious person can disguise himself as a wise and poor prince, and keep pretending for ten or twenty years.
If such a person has an enmity with him, even if he does not deal with you temporarily, he will definitely retaliate afterwards.
Zhuo Yifeng worried that he would bring disaster to the Lin family.
"Brother Zhuo, don't worry." Yun Moxiao also stood up, and patted Zhuo Yifeng on the shoulder to make him sit down.
"The reason why Duke Ming did not dare to act rashly, there is another reason besides the Lin family."
Yun Moxiao analyzed: "He's not sure whether Zhuo Yifeng discovered their secret, but Zhuo Yifeng's sudden resignation just made him feel uneasy. So we don't have to mess around."
"Brother, do you have an idea?" Yun Ruoyan looked at Yun Moxiao.
"My idea is to wait and see what happens." Yun Moxiao said: "Since King Ming is not sure, then we will act as if nothing happened, and do what we should do. In this way, King Ming will be even more uncertain and more uncertain. Don’t dare to act rashly.”
Waiting and watching, Yun Moxiao's proposal was similar to Li Mo's.
"It's just that Brother Zhuo and Sister Ling had better not go out recently. They didn't dare to enter the Lin Mansion because they didn't want to make things worse. But if you go out, it won't take much trouble for you to be taken away without anyone noticing. .” Yun Moxiao said again.
The result of several people's discussions was that the brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family should not go out and the rest of the people followed their old habits.
After the discussion, the brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family still stayed in the small bamboo forest to take care of them, and the rest left the small bamboo forest to pay respects to Lin Zainan.
They didn't find Lin Zainan in the study, they went to the alchemy room instead, and found that Lin Zainan was not in the alchemy room either.
Lin Zainan didn't go out for a long time, and he was usually in the study or in the pharmacy. In the huge Lin family, they really didn't know where to find Lin Zainan.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Lin Bo turning a small road.
"Master Biao, Miss Biao." Lin Bo greeted Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao.
"Uncle Lin, have you seen grandfather?" Lin Qingxue asked.
"Master is in the Peach Blossom Grove. Just after he asked me to fetch wine and send it over, he asked me to come back. He said he wanted to be alone." Lin Bo replied.
"What happened to grandfather today?" Lin Qingxue asked suspiciously.
Lin Zainan was fond of wine when he was young, so he kept a lot of good wine at home, but in recent years he seldom drank, the last time he drank was to celebrate Yun Moxiao's return.
Today doesn't seem to be any special day, why did I start drinking early in the morning. Listening to Lin Bo's voice, Lin Zainan seemed to be in a bad mood. Could it be that there is something bothering him
Several people have some doubts on their faces.
"The matter that the master asked me to investigate has some clues." Lin Bo said: "I reported the situation I found to the master this morning."
"Is... is it my mother's business?" Yun Ruoyan asked after being slightly stunned.
Lin Bo nodded, and all of them had sad expressions on their faces.
"Master is in a bad mood, you might as well go and accompany him." After Lin Bo finished speaking, he passed several people and left.
The few people went all the way to the peach blossom forest along the path.
The peach grove in Lin's Mansion is planted on a piece of land with great spiritual power, so the flowering period is much longer than other places.
Generally, it blooms from March in Yangchun to autumn when the fallen leaves are yellow all over the ground. When the aura is particularly abundant, even in the snowfall season, it is still very gorgeous.
On weekdays, Yun Ruoyan doesn't like to come here from the bottom of her heart, because the peach blossoms here, and even the fragrance of peach blossoms here, will remind Yun Ruoyan of the dream of Lin Yuemei dancing among the peach blossoms and vomiting blood.
Although it was a dream, it was a scene that actually happened, so every time Yun Ruoyan thought of it, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
From the moment she entered the Taolin, Yun Ruoyan tightly clenched her fists, Yun Moxiao seemed to feel Yun Ruoyan's tension, and gently placed her big hand on Yun Ruoyan's shoulder.
They walked into the peach blossom forest and saw Lin Zainan, who was sitting alone in front of a stone table in the peach forest.
Under the gorgeous peach blossoms, with a white beard and white beard, Lin Zainan, who was dressed in a white robe, was drinking alone with a lonely expression.
"grandfather."
"Grandfather."
When several people saw this scene, they couldn't help but their noses were sore, and they shouted.
Lin Zainan looked up and saw several children, he was stunned for a moment, and soon a loving smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Er, Ruoyan, Qing Chen, Qing Xue, why are you here?" Lin Zainan smiled and waved to them.
Several people stepped forward to the stone table and sat down.
"Grandfather, Xiao'er will drink with you." Yunmo Xiao said, then picked up the empty wine glass in front of Lin Zainan, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down with a bow.
"Hehe, good!" Lin Zainan took the cup from Yun Moxiao's hand and poured it out, and also drank it up with a tilt of his neck.
"Happy!" Yun Moxiao also laughed, and filled Lin Zainan after he had a drink.
Seeing that the two were drinking too hard, Lin Qingchen wanted to stop her, but Yun Ruoyan took her hand, signaling her not to stop. She knew that the purpose of Yun Moxiao drinking with Lin Zainan was to let Lin Zainan get rid of his sullen feelings.
It's also drinking, like Lin Zainan's before, it hurts his health, but drinking like this now is fun.
After a few rounds, Lin Zainan's face began to turn red, but his spirit improved.
"Grandfather, I can't do it anymore." Seeing that Lin Zai Nan was slightly drunk and knew that he was almost done, Yun Moxiao took the initiative to ask for mercy, "Grandfather has a lot of people, grandson can't do it."
"That's right, my grandfather thinks that back then, he would never get drunk for a thousand cups. The entire imperial city, no, the entire Shenyuan Continent could not find an opponent." Lin Qingxue said quickly, causing Lin Zainan to laugh again.
"Xiao'er, Ruoyan." Lin Zainan put down his wine glass, looked at Yun Moxiao and Yun Ruoyan, and said slowly: "I asked Lin Bo to investigate about that Wu Clan earlier, and there are clues."
Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao glanced at each other, and there was a flicker in their eyes.
Although Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue didn't know about it, they could guess the importance of it from the tone and expression of the three of them, so they also held their breath and listened carefully.
"Lin Bo sent people to search the entire imperial city and nearby temples, and they found a temple called Yinling Temple, which enshrines the reincarnated Buddha."
Lin Zainan continued: "After careful investigation, it is confirmed that the temple was built by the descendants of the Wu people."
"Grandfather, so the poison my mother suffered back then was spread from that temple?" Yun Moxiao tightly clasped his hands on the stone table.
Lin Zainan didn't speak, but he nodded affirmatively.
The descendants of the Wu clan are very rare in the first place, and only this branch was found near the imperial city. Even if the strange poison did not come from the temple, it must be inseparable from the descendants of the Wu clan in the temple.
"Did Lin Bo further investigate and find out who in the temple can refine this poison?" Yun Ruoyan asked, "Who sold this poison more than ten years ago?"
"Lin Bo tried to investigate, but found that the Wu people in the temple were extremely cautious, so he didn't investigate further because he was afraid of making trouble." Lin Zainan stroked his beard and said, "This matter still needs to be carefully planned."
Due to their nervousness and caution, Lin Zainan didn't have any good solution, so Lin Bo decided to send people to closely monitor the Yinling Temple. And they need to go to the Yinling Temple in person, check it out for themselves, and then make a decision.
Lin Zainan and Yun Moxiao drank very vigorously after drinking, and when they were about to leave after discussing with each other, Lin Zainan's steps were a little unsteady.
Yun Moxiao squatted down and carried Lin Zainan all the way back to Shen Xiuxuan. Yun Ruoyan and Lin Qingchen waited for him to lie down, and then they closed the door gently and retreated out.
Several people greeted Lin Bo and asked him to pay attention to serving Lin Zainan's tea, and then walked out of Lin's house.
Lin Qingxue went to the teahouse to listen to books as usual, and Lin Qingchen went to Wanyaotang.
Yun Ruoyan had a few low-grade elixir that she wanted to sell, but she didn't know the market price, so she wanted to follow Lin Qingchen to the medicine hall, and buy some elixir to continue refining medicine.
Yun Moxiao wanted to go with him if he had nothing to do, so the brother and sister followed Lin Qingchen into the carriage.
"Brother, I think you're also a little drunk, why don't you take you back to rest first." Seeing Yun Moxiao getting into the carriage, Yun Ruoyan kept looking out the window with blurred eyes, so she said.
"No need." Yun Moxiao waved his hand, "With this little wine, I'll wake up as soon as the wind blows."
Seeing what he said, Yun Ruoyan stopped talking, and instead chatted with Lin Qingchen about things in the medicine hall.
The carriage wobbled, Yun Moxiao looked out the window for a while, then reached into his arms and took out a sachet.
Yun Ruoyan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pink sachet, which was a personal belonging of her daughter's family, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
